Reverse-engineered games: All the news on video game decomps, recomps, VR and web and 3D ports

The article collects coverage of unofficial retro game decompilation and recompilation projects that port classics to new platforms, including web browsers, VR devices, and modern hardware. Examples include Halo in a browser, Half-Life: Alyx on Vision Pro, and browser-based Lego Racers with multiplayer, while noting legal gray areas and AI-related concerns.

These projects show how fan communities are increasingly reshaping game preservation and access outside official publisher channels. The trend could pressure rights holders to modernize catalogs, but legal uncertainty and AI-assisted development may keep many efforts vulnerable to takedowns or controversy.
